Car Audio questions (amplifier questions)

Okay I have a few amplifier ?'s i'd like to ask of you all:
1. I used to have dual 12-inch infinity reference subs running off a 1200w Sony Xplod amplifier. The subs were wired on both channels (1 sub per channel, on a 2-channel amp). That setup was stolen 2 months ago. I finally got a new setup off Craig's list (dual 12-inch rockford fosgate subs with a rockford fosgate amp), and I noticed that he had his wired up differently. He had both subs running off one positive/negative, and did not use the other + and -. Is there any benefit to this, as they run just fine in my car hooked up, or is it better for me to run each sub off it's own channel? Jut a little confused about this.
2. I also acquired a fairly old amp (Craig PowerPlay 500.. which is approx. 500 watts). I know that the amp works fine, and so I am wondering if it would benefit me (and even if I can) run my front or rear speakers off the amp?
Thanks a lot everyone!!
